Piriformospora indica: A Novel Plant-growth-promoting Root Endophyte Fungus for Climate-resilient and Sustainable Agriculture

Navjot Kaur, Neeraj Rani, Rekha Bhandari, Chaitanya Thakur & Vani Mahindru · Journal of Advances in Microbiology · 2026

Piriformospora indica (reclassified as Serendipita indica) is an axenically culturable, root-colonizing endophytic fungus of the order Sebacinales, originally isolated from the rhizosphere of woody shrubs in the Thar Desert, India. Unlike obligate arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, P....
